Chapter 8: Finally Joining the Alliance
The Nets were the last to pick the flowers, and they chose Derrick Favors, the big forward born in Atlanta, Georgia. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He averaged 28.1 points, 13.3 rebounds, 5.0 blocks, 3.0 steals and 2.0 assists per game, and scored 2,341 points, 1,511 rebounds and 741 blocks in his career, all of which broke school records.
After entering the first year of college, although the statistics decreased slightly, he was still able to score 12.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks, ranked tenth in the division in rebounds per game, ranked second in the division in blocks per game, was selected by the division media to the best team, and was selected as the best rookie by the division media.
The Nets are really interested in the oppression of the inside, after all, the 18-game losing streak at the beginning of the season is too embarrassing, and they can only pick a big man to try to strengthen the defense after missing the top pick.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, who finished fourth, selected small forward Wesley Johnson, who is quite accomplished in scoring and rebounding.
The Kings drafted DeMarcus Cousins in fifth place, and the big man who gave up his college career to participate in the draft was not something to mess with, and he was the only player on the first team in the American College League who averaged a double-double (points and rebounds) per game, but the ball quotient was not great.
"Cousins is perfect from the bottom of his head!" That's what scouts who fancy him say, and indeed, his perfect physicality makes him an inside bully.
The body determines a player's lower limit, and the head determines a player's upper limit. Cousins, with his overlord body, deserves the fourth pick.
The next pick was won by the Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers.
They selected Apai Yodo, Greg Monroe, Al Farouk Aminu, Gordon Hayward, and Paul George.
In Chu Yi's opinion, Monroe, Hayward, and George are worthy of their names, and Yudu and Aminu are completely suspected of parallel imports.
"Why don't you choose me if you choose them?" Chu Yi couldn't help but feel a little jealous, there are only 60 in total, and if you choose one, you will have one less, and now it has passed one-sixth, although he has received Mr. Sheehan's verbal promise, but no one knows if it will not change, there are too many things like this in the NBA.
"In the eleventh round, the Hornets selected - a scoring guard from China, Chu Yi!" The MC on the stage looked a little surprised, before the draft, he learned that there were Chinese guards participating in the NBA draft.
However, he didn't take it to heart, only Yao Ming really gained a firm foothold in the NBA, although Yi Jianlian entered the league, he was only a little stronger than the water god, and Sun Yue, as a guard, didn't even enter the squad.
All indications show that the NBA is not suitable for the survival of the yellow race, and the guard is not a yellow person, it is the world of blacks and whites, and China can only produce one big man at most.
Now, the Hornets do not hesitate to use the eleventh pick in the first round, such a relatively high pick to pick a yellow guard? Lose your marbles? Don't do this even if you kneel and lick the Chinese market! Even with it, his voice became stunned.
In fact, he was not the only one who was shocked, everyone in the audience, all the audience in front of the TV (except for the Chinese, of course) felt that George Sheehan, the general manager of the Hornets, must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, how could he make such a stupid deal?
Even Chu Yi was a little surprised, he thought that the Hornets would trade for a pick at the end of the first round to select him, but he didn't expect it to be eleven, which is higher than Kobe!
"I think George Sheehan's brain must have been in water, how could he pick a Chinese defender who hasn't even played in a regular league? He must be crazy about money, after all, the boss in the entire alliance is the poorest of the best. "In the TNT live room, Bigmouth Barkley was the first to shoot mercilessly, bitter and mean.
He who suffered a loss from Yao Ming, he had no memory, and mercilessly mocked the "stupid" decision made by the wasp.
"Who knows, maybe Sheehan got water in his head?" Kenny Smith was also not optimistic about Chu Yi and mocked George Sheehan mercilessly.
Listening to the overwhelming ridicule and boos, it calmed Chu Yi's heart, since it happened to him, he couldn't escape it, and he still had to face it.
Kobe Bryant said he wanted to surpass Jordan when he first entered the league, how much ridicule did he receive at that time? And now, he's on his way to the record of his idol Michael Jordan, and he's on his way to his second dynasty!
"Hello everyone, I'm Chu Yi, from China, you can call me Yi, I am deeply honored and a little flattered to be selected by Mr. Sheehan in the eleventh round, he trusts me so much, so, I will not live up to this trust, I will use my performance to prove everything."
Chu Yi, who came to the stage, is not the most individual, nor is he the biggest player, but he is undoubtedly the most generous, happy but not excessive, and dares to respond in the face of doubts.
It's just that this bearing is not appreciated by many media in the audience, but they think that Chu Yi's humility and arrogance are excessive arrogance.
What is the NBA? You say that if you can get a foothold, you can get a foothold, how many of the two or three billion yellow people in the world are in the NBA? One slap is enough.
Fullback? Don't even think about it? Don't you see, in the CBA, Sun Yue, who claims to be comparable to blacks in terms of physical fitness, can rotate players?
The overwhelming boos seemed to be as if the devil had opened his bloody mouth and wanted to devour Chu Yi, and in the midst of this storm, there were many local New Orleans media who thought that the Hornets had chosen a guy who couldn't even hit the ball.
Chu Yi was like a boat in this tidal wave of questioning, and he would be sunk by the waves at any time. He could only clench his teeth and clench his fists.
He was afraid that one would not be able to bear it, so he rushed down and waved his fist at those media, but he couldn't, he wanted to show with his actions that they didn't know Taishan.
"Don't be discouraged, Americans only worship the strong, and I believe that you will be able to conquer them one day." Ye Xuan saw that Chu Yi was questioned, and he felt very uncomfortable, but he was helpless, and he had no way to shut up the media, so he could only enlighten Chu Yi.
"Tongtian, China has another guard into the NBA, this is the sixth Chinese player to enter the NBA, and the second guard to enter the NBA, I believe that under the leadership of Chris Paul, he can play a brilliant performance."
Because of Chu Yi's appearance, CCTV5 also broadcast the NBA's draft live at the same time, which naturally requires Zhang to guide the old man.
When he saw Chu Yi being selected as the eleventh in the first round, as a person who has dealt with basketball all his life, it was difficult to hide his excitement when he saw that Chinese guards could log in to the NBA.
"Indeed, Chu Yi, now as the second Chinese guard to log in to the NBA, carries the hope of the revival of Chinese basketball, and hopes that he can break into his own sky in the NBA, China is really lacking an excellent guard." Su Qun, the old partner of Coach Zhang, was also ecstatic.
No way, in Chinese basketball, guards have been criticized. Not to mention the Olympics, it is difficult to dribble through the half of the court when you are pressed all over the field in Asia, what kind of offense do you talk about?
When the news returned to China, some forums on the Internet also exploded.
"There is hope for revival, China has finally produced another NBA player, or a guard, I hope they will lead China on the road to becoming a strong man."
"1st floor, don't be happy too early, maybe it's Sun Yue's second again? Players who haven't even played regular games may have a lot of water? ”
"On the 2nd floor, I can't say anything nice, the wasps are not stupid, that Chu Yi has also gone to the wasp for trial training before, there must be a few brushes to convince the general manager!"
"Upstairs, what's the noise! It's good to watch that Chu Yi fight a few times, it's a mule or a horse, and you can know if it's yo-yo. ”
……
Not only Chinese fans are boiling, but South Korea, which is across the sea from China, also has nine girls who are almost happy to go to the sky.
"Yun'er, how is it, my heart is steady. Look at the nervousness that made you nervous just now, your palms are sweaty! Cui Xiuying put her arms around Lin Yun'er's neck, and her mouth was full of teasing words.
"It's, it's just, we've never seen you care so much about a man." Sunny is also afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and Choi so-young sandwiches Yuna left and right, teasing her with a smile.
"What's the matter, she and I are just very close friends, and we can talk about it very well." Lin Yun'er's face was flushed with shame, and she said a poor reason.
"Not yet, it's all spring-like, and it almost says that I like Chu Yi, but I can tell you, the gap between you is not small, and it is very difficult for you to be together." Kim Taeyeon, who is usually the captain, is a little pumped, but he is definitely the most careful in the team and knows the members best.
She knew that Lin Yun'er and Chu Yi might have a good impression of each other, and she felt this omen after Lin Yun'er and Chu Yi talked at night that night, because from that night on, the two looked at each other, especially Lin Yun'er's eyes on Chu Yi were different.
It's just that she hasn't had a good chance to talk to her, because, until today, she was sure that Lin Yun'er really had feelings for Chu Yi, so she decided to talk to her.
"Maybe you can't talk about love now, and you just have a good impression of each other, but it's at this time that I want to talk to you, from his villa in Beverly Hills in New York, we can see that he has an extraordinary background, we are just an idol, to put it mildly, it's a joke, do you think any wealthy family in South Korea will let their children and grandchildren marry an idol?"
Kim Taeyeon said it very seriously, and every sentence was heart-wrenching, and the pressure on Lin Yuna was about to be out of breath.
Isn't it about to end before it begins? Lin Yun'er fell into confusion.
